Stop eating 1\/2 a bag of Hersey&#8217;s Kisses at night when I&#8217;m on the computer<\/strong><\/em>-I will lower my intake to 1\/4 of a bag, this will cut down on the stomach aches, and pounds.<br \/>\n<em><strong>2. Rock out to Guitar Hero World Tour everyday<\/strong><\/em>-I would say exercise, but I know that won&#8217;t happen, I&#8217;m sure I burn enough calories being a Rock Star!<br \/>\n<em><strong>3. Stop saying out loud what I am thinking in my head<\/strong><\/em>-I can&#8217;t go with &#8220;be nicer to people&#8221;, cuz that&#8217;s never gonna happen!<br \/>\n<em><strong>4. Hide my face when I roll my eyes<\/strong><\/em>-I am a constant eye-roller, ask anyone that knows me, this is something I will never be able to stop!\u00a0 I do it without even knowing it, maybe that&#8217;s why I get so many headaches!<br \/>\n<em><strong>5. Only yell at stupid people who cut me off in traffic when the kids are NOT in the car<\/strong><\/em>-they&#8217;re starting to beat me to it (&#8220;oh what a stupid idiot&#8221;, &#8220;where did he learn to drive&#8221;, &#8220;get a clue dumb-ass&#8221; &#8220;Moron!&#8221;)<br \/>\n<em><strong>6. Have a semi-positive attitude<\/strong><\/em>-I&#8217;m know to have a negative outlook (glass half empty person, waiting for the other shoe to drop, bad things happen in 3&#8217;s etc.)<br \/>\n<em><strong>7. Start Gambling<\/strong><\/em>-this falls into the category &#8220;win the lottery&#8221;, but since I don&#8217;t buy any tickets I can&#8217;t win unless I start.<br \/>\n<em><strong>8. Be in bed by midnight on weeknights<\/strong><\/em>-I have a habit of finding awful shows to watch late at night (Adult Swim on Cartoon Network) and I&#8217;ve always been a night owl.<br \/>\n<em><strong>9. Cut down on 1 Mtn. Dew a day<\/strong><\/em>-Please note it&#8217;s <strong>NOT <\/strong>drink 1 Mtn. Dew a day, it&#8217;s 1 less, so instead of 4 a day, I&#8217;ll go with 3.<br \/>\n<em><strong>10. Buy less &#8220;Yoga Pants<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;-Nope, I don&#8217;t do Yoga, don&#8217;t want to, just like the nice, comfy pants they make.\u00a0 I just don&#8217;t need 10 pairs or more of them.<br \/>\nOh yea, and Take up drinking!<br \/>\nSo there you go that&#8217;s my &#8220;Realistic New Years Resolutions for 2009&#8221;, we&#8217;ll see how I do.\u00a0 Good luck to all of you with any goals you may have in the new year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s the topic that seems to be on every one&#8217;s minds right now.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not a big fan of the &#8220;New Years Resolution&#8221;.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t believe in making unrealistic goals, that I know I will not accomplish or even want to try.\u00a0 I quit smoking&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[71,282,534,608,744,793,1114,1153,1519,1619,1912],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3ISGQ-6B","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
